Popular Reviews

Young Americans by David Bowie

My late father was a big big David Bowie fan. So big he named me after him. So my name is David. If I wasn't named after him, my name would be Jens. That was my mother her chose. Before you think Jens? You must be German. No i'm Belgian. Anyway enough talk about my little little little self. I really enjoyed this album. For me personally it doesn't have a bad track on it. And no I don't say this because I was named after him. 4/5

Nevermind by Nirvana

What can I say about this album? Well not that much. It's simply a fantastic album. But I must admit that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the song that I love the least on this album. When i'm listening to this album I always skip that track. But I didn't do it this time. Why? Do you think. Well it's probably because for the reason that some Belgian radio channel (StuBru *kuch*) only play this song from the album. So that's the reason that I like this song the least. It's not a bad song. But when you hear it over and over and over and over again you get bored. And you gonna dislike the song a little bit. It's like they only have one song on the album instead of 13. Oh and if you wanna know "Territorial Pissings" is my favorite track. By the way if you like Nirvana you must check out Thou. They made a cover album with only Nirvana songs on it back in 2020. It's called Blesings of the Highest Order. I recommend it! It's more sludge/doom but damn it's bloody fantastic. Anyway enough bullshit. 5/5

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 09 2026
Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Apr 16 2026

I confess i'm not a Kings of Leon fan. Their debut album isn't bad. To be honest "Red Morning Light" is a kick ass song. Aha Shake Heartbreak is their 2nd album. So I thought I gave it a listen. The short tracks are ok/good. But the longer tracks are so bloody boring. I gave them a try but skipped them after like a minute. So 2 stars for the shorter ones on the album.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 17 2026

Really enjoyed it. I know The Smiths their singles. But never listened to a full album of them. I know that's probably a shame. But after listening to this one, I gonna listen to their other album(s) too.

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 20 2026

My favorite Radiohead album. And to be honest all their other albums are great too.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Apr 21 2026

Love it! Especially the first 2 tracks. Walk On By is that song that was sampled by Hooverphonic (back then Hoover) for their single 2 Wicky. Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic is one hell of a song. By the Time I Get to Phoenix is a really fine lenghty track. Least favorite track is One Woman. 4 out of 5 stars for me.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 23 2026

I really like R.E.M. but I didn't really enjoyed this album. Not that it's a bad album. It has a couple of good tracks on it. But also some boring ones. 3/5

Fragile by Yes
Apr 24 2026

Hey, it's a classic album for some reason. Yeah, I enjoyed it. 4/5

Boston by Boston
Apr 28 2026

To be honest I only know one Boston song and that's the opening track of this album. So I never listened to this album before. Not a great album. Not a bad album. 3/5

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Apr 29 2026

Get It On is a great song. I hoped the other songs rocked as well. But instead of it you get some boring songs that I really don't like. They sound like T. rex is a Soft Rock band instead of a Glam Rock band. So i'm a little disappointed about the lack of great songs on this album. 2/5

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 30 2026

Sure I know some Stevie Wonder albums. And too be honest probably his more famous albums like "Talking Book", "Songs in the Key of Life" and "Hotter than July" to mention a few. But this one was new for me. And damn I really liked it. I know Stevie has a great voice. But wow in "They Won't Go When I Go" his voice is so outstanding. Honest I am I ain't the guy that loves "ballads" but he does it so good that I like them. 4/5

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
May 01 2026

Goddamn I loved this one so much that the only thing I can do is to give it 5 stars!

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
May 04 2026

Classic album! 9 great tracks. The only one I don't like is "She's Out of My Life". 4/5

Who's Next by The Who
May 05 2026

Not fantastic. Not bad. But at least the original "Behind Blue Eyes" is way better than that toe crawling Limp Bizkit cover. And "Won't Get Fooled Again" is a briliant song! 3/5

1984 by Van Halen
May 06 2026

Another album that I never listened before. Well until yesterday of course. I know all the singles from this album (Jump, Panama and Hot For Teacher) but I never heard the other tracks of this album. And well I was suprised. I really enjoyed all of them and really thought that wouldn't be the case. 4/5

May 07 2026

It's ok. Really love Playground Love. Other favorite tracks are Highschool Love, Dead Bodies and Suicide Underground. Too be honest it doesn't have bad track on the album. Oh! And if you didn't see the film yet. Suicide Underground is one big spoiler alert. 3/5

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 11 2026

First of all i'm not the biggest Reggae fan. But of course I know Bob Marley. I know most of his singles that charted long long time ago. This album is probably one of the best Reagae albums that was ever released. And I mean for the Reggae fans. But I don't feel this album. For me it doesn't have any outstanding tracks. Sorry about that. I don't skipped a single track but I was happy that the album was finished. It's just not my kind of music. 3/5

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 12 2026

My late father was a big big David Bowie fan. So big he named me after him. So my name is David. If I wasn't named after him, my name would be Jens. That was my mother her chose. Before you think Jens? You must be German. No i'm Belgian. Anyway enough talk about my little little little self. I really enjoyed this album. For me personally it doesn't have a bad track on it. And no I don't say this because I was named after him. 4/5

Microshift by Hookworms
May 13 2026

Never heared of this band before. Chance is great that I will forget this band after listening to this album. Nothing special at all. 2/5

May 14 2026

I'm familiar with Genesis. But not with their older stuff with Peter Gabriel as a singer. Listened to the album and it's not bad. But it's way too long for me. Not that I don't like long songs or long albums. But after a while I lost my interest in this album completely. 3/5

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
May 15 2026

I really really like the first 4 songs of this album. But the last 4 songs are in my humble opinion not that good. So if all the tracks would be that great like the first 4 songs I would give this album 5 out of 5. Because the last 4 tracks aren't that good: 3/5

Nevermind by Nirvana
May 18 2026

What can I say about this album? Well not that much. It's simply a fantastic album. But I must admit that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the song that I love the least on this album.

Anyway enough bullshit. 5/5

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
May 19 2026

Ah their debut album! Just love it. Also my favorite FF album. What I also remember is the damn funny "Big Me" video. Well I have nothing more to say. 4/5

May 20 2026

The music and songs on this album are good or great. But after 4 tracks I get so bored by the singer his voice. For some reason his voice sounds like he's a character in The Chipmunks. So that's why this album gets: 3/5

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
May 21 2026

Oh this one... So it begins with track 1 that is called "Guitar Town" and after 10 seconds he already sings "Hey, Pretty Baby". Is he talking to his guitar or does he want to impress some random women (or in his own words a baby)? In track 3 he sings "down": Well that is how I feel me after only 3 (!!!) tracks into this album. Track 4 "Good Ol' Boy": I'm assuming he's singing about some random dog he saw walking down a random street is his hometown. But I can be wrong. Track 7 "Think It's Over" Well I wish. Too bad I had still 3 tracks to go or even worse: 4. Thanks to the reissue on Spotify. Track 10: "Down the Road" he sings "You have still miles to go." I would walk 1000 miles or even more to get rid of his music. Really! Track 2: "Goodbye's All We've Got Left" Well at least Steve is a honest person. He sings "I dont't think that it'll get any better." And yeah like i said he's honest: It only got worse! But thanks Steve to mention this already. You were absolutely right! 1/5

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
May 22 2026

After 10 tracks of the same stuff I think the producer asked him to do something different. And he listened to this tip! Suite For 20 G is a good track. Why doesn't sound 75% of the album like this track? If so I would gave it more stars. Now: 2/5

Disintegration by The Cure
May 25 2026

Great album. I have nothing more to say about this one. 4/5

American Gothic by David Ackles
May 27 2026

Nope. Just nope. How is it possible that this album made this list? Was it chosen by someone that is completely deaf? Well I think so. No, i'm 100% sure about it. Just for David Ackles his effort: 1/5

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 28 2026

Just a classic album. Really love that electro feel hip-hop from back in the days. And probably also the first hip-hop group (together with Beastie Boys) that combined hip-hop with rock. Well thanks to Rick Rubin I suppose. 4/5

Be by Common
Jun 02 2026

Just a great album. 10 great tracks out of 11. The track on this album I don't like is "They Say" By the way if you like Common and if you like basketball watch the "Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association" documentary. He's the narrator & executive director of this documentary. His late dad played in the ABA. 4/5

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 03 2026

Classic album. Hardcore classic. 5/5

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 04 2026

I'm not a Lorde fan. I barely now any of her songs. Yeah, only her singles. Or is it only one single "Royals"? I really don't know First I was like "Do I really need to listen to this album?" But I was surprised by this album. I really thought this would be a bad bad album. But it isn't. I don't say I will listen to it again next week or next month. Maybe I will never will listen to it again. But overall Lorde isn't that bad than I thought. 3/5

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 05 2026

My second Yes album since my start. I enjoyed "Fragile". But this one? Nope! Just nope! In my opinion it only got 2 good songs on it: Yours Is No Disgrace & Perpetual Change. The rest is boring and lame. Oh and "Clap" is one of the worst songs I ever heard. If you even can call this a song. 2/5

Guero by Beck
Jun 08 2026

Beck the guy that's playing with different genres on his albums. That's always nice to hear. So this album isn't a disappointment. Like most of his releases. 3.5/5 (for me) 3/5 (on this site)

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 09 2026

The Fly and Mysterious Ways remind me of the time when I spent my time at my grandparents house in the summer vacation. Both tracks were singles in Belgium back in those days. I recorded the BRT (now VRT) Top 30 every week on cassette. Those 2 tracks are the only decent ones on this shit album. All the other tracks are boring as hell. Especially One. That's one of the most crappy songs I ever heard in my life. 1/5

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jun 10 2026

I'm a metal fan. But that doesn't mean that I only listen to metal. No, my interest in music is very diverse. But to be honest i'm not familiar with Megadeth. Sure, I know them and I know they are popular in the metal scene. But I never listened to them or barely listened to them. But this album is a decent one. It doesn't have bad songs on it. 3/5

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jun 11 2026

Released 22 years ago when I was 22 years old. Loved this album so much when it was released and when I was a young man. 22 years later and 22 years older: This 44 year old man still love this album as much like when I was 22 years old. Is it year or years? Oh well, I don't care. 5/5

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Jun 12 2026

Ok, this band is a supergroup. But this album is far from super. I really didn't enjoyed it. 2/5

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 15 2026

2 words: Superb album 5/5

Jun 16 2026

Their first two albums were great or are still great. But after those it went downhill. Like a steep downhill. So this one? Nope. 2/5

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jun 17 2026

Long songs Long album Damn fine album 4/5

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 23 2026

In German or in English. It doesn't mind. It an absolute classic!

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jun 24 2026

I'm from Belgium and over here Eels is damn popular. It's even more popular over here then in their own country. And yes still to this date. Really enjoyed this album. 4/5

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 02 2026

Classic album is classic. This is an absolute masterpiece.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jul 07 2026

I'm not going to say that i'm familiar with Outkast. Sure I know them and sure I can list up a couple of songs of them. But I never really listened to a full album of this band. So I guess this was my first time. Did I enjoyed it? Yes Did I enjoyed all the tracks? No Will I listen to it again? Maybe Will I listen to their other albums? Maybe 3/5

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 14 2026

Well I though I wouldn't not enjoy this album. But I did! I enjoyed it so much I give it: 4/5

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jul 15 2026

Boring. Boring. Boring. Felt almost asleep. Thank God it has Macbeth & Paris 1919 on it. Otherwise it was 1/5. Now: 2/5

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 20 2026

I'm not the biggest The Doors fan. I know some of their more famous songs. But I really really enjoyed this album. Doesn't have a bad song on it. I think i'm going to listen to The Doors more often after listening to this one. 4/5

Jul 22 2026

Didn't know there would be a 2nd Mayfield album in this list. Too be honest I never heard of this album before. Shame on me! Time for the walk of shame for me. But I really really enjoyed it. 4/5

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jul 24 2026

First time I listened to this album and it will also be the last time. 8 songs that basicly sound all the same. Well in my opinion of course. Didn't enjoyed this one for one minute. 1/5

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jul 27 2026

I'm from Belgium. Well 4 songs of this album (So Long, Marianne, Suzanne, Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye and Sisters Of Mercy) entered the Classics 1000 (Radio 1). As of today (or this year) two of them are still in the list (So Long, Marianne and Suzanne). I'm not familiar with any of Cohen his albums but I understand why. This album doesn't contain any bad song or any boring song. Really enjoyed listening to this album. I think i'm going to explore more of his albums very soon. 4/5

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 28 2026

Well this is an easy one for me. I love this album from the very first second until the very last second. This is a masterpiece! 5/5

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 29 2026

I really love their debut. That's a easy 5 stars for me. But this one? Nope. Really don't feel it. Not a single that where I think "This is a fenomenal song". Not a single "wow" song. This album is just an average album like so many albums. 3/5 (Only because it has 2 mixes)

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jul 30 2026

Just a classic album. Not going to say that all tracks are good. But it's a beyond average album. So: 4/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 04 2026

This is not a good album. This is not a b.A.A.d album. This is a one hell of an album! So: 5/5

The Next Day by David Bowie
Aug 05 2026

What can I say about this one? Well listened to it for the very first time. And I enjoyed it. A decent album in my opinion. 3/5

Aug 06 2026

This is the first Dylan album that I need to review. Well it's simple. This album only needs one word to describe: Boring! 1/5* *Of course this doesn't mean that I will give all of his albums in this 1 star out of 5.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Aug 07 2026

Damn what a phenomenal album! Enjoyed it from the very first second until the very last second. Must hear hip-hop album! 4/5

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 10 2026

Not as good as Deep Purple In Rock. But this album is still a damn good album! Too bad "Space Truckin'" isn't that long on this album as on their live albums. 4/5

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 11 2026

Didn't know CCR had such long songs. Not a fantastic album. Not a bad album. An average one in my humble opinion. So: 3/5

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Aug 13 2026

I don't dislike The Who. But this album is a stinker. Those ads aren't even funny at all. 2/5
